Chapter 132 The factory director who is as stubborn as his father
Qin Tao just pointed out the country casually, but he has the advantage of being a reborn person, so he can get to the point with just a casual sentence.
Speaking of air defense ships similar to the Aegis system, Lao Maozi really doesn't have them yet. Although their Kirov-class and Glorious-class are already actual arsenal ships, these warships are too expensive after all and cannot be used in large numbers. put up.
Only by developing a dedicated air defense destroyer with a displacement of less than 10,000 tons can this problem be solved.
Because Lao Maozi's electronic technology is backward, it is impossible to achieve balanced anti-submarine, anti-ship and air defense on one destroyer, so they do it separately.
The Type 956 destroyer, also known as the modern class, is equipped with powerful supersonic anti-ship missiles and medium-range air defense missiles for anti-ship and air defense, while the Type 1155 destroyer, also known as the Dreadnought class, is used for anti-submarine warfare. In this way, the two Paired with a destroyer, it is the main ship of their ocean-going fleet.
According to this analysis, it seems that it is more appropriate to modify the modern-class anti-aircraft ships to professional anti-aircraft ships. However, the modern-class destroyers use backward steam turbines, which require a lot of crew to operate and the bridge is bloated. Instead, they use The fully-combustion-powered Dreadnought is more suitable for modification.
Although it is said that the Dreadnought 3 anti-aircraft ship appears in fictional history novels, in fact, this type of air defense ship also appeared in Lao Maozi's plan.
According to Lao Maozi’s military industry development rules, Dauntless 1 is under construction, Dauntless 2 has begun design, and Dauntless 3 is of course also being conceived.
At its peak, the Red Empire had been sparing no effort to develop their maritime power in order to compete with the United States. This kind of specialized air defense ship was of course also under their consideration. Even if the Red Empire had not collapsed, If so, he might actually get something like this out.
Originally, it was just a courtesy to let these guests from the East visit. Makarov did not think about showing too many things to these people, but when he heard this suggestion, he couldn't help but admire these guests. They are really discerning and can actually guess their subsequent development plans!
“Comrade, please tell us how to change it?” Makarov asked.
"Soviet warships are equipped with a large number of naval guns. In fact, I think this is unnecessary. After all, the era of naval gun duels has passed." Now that he has successfully aroused the interest of these people, Qin Tao will of course continue Fooled them.
"Take the Type 1155 anti-submarine ship as an example. Its bow weapons can be readjusted. The front short-range anti-ship missile launcher can be removed, and a 130 mm caliber naval gun can be placed in that place. That's enough. In this way, the original positions of the two main guns on the bow of the ship are freed up. In these positions, the vertical launch tubes of the 9M38 anti-aircraft missiles can be inserted. If you squeeze it in like this, you might be able to insert it. 48 launch tubes.”
Forget about large area air defense missiles, a lot of medium-range air defense missiles can still be stuffed in. If the space at the tail is freed up, more can be stuffed in.
The plan provided by Qin Tao is exactly the same as what they thought!
Babic couldn't help but said: "However, our Sky Sentinel radar antenna is too bulky, and there are still many problems when it is installed on the bridge of the Type 1155 anti-submarine ship."
Makarov rolled his eyes at him, why did he say what he shouldn't have said?
Although it is a flat-panel phased array radar, it is just a backward passive phased array radar antenna. In particular, it is very bulky, so now Lao Maozi only installs this radar antenna on heavy-duty aircraft-carrying cruisers, the 1155 anti-submarine The hull of the ship may be a bit difficult to carry.
“Cut it in half, you can’t even think of this, right?” Qin Tao looked at Babbage with contempt.
Qin Tao also knows the specific data. This Sky Sentinel radar antenna is six meters by five meters. If it is cut in half, it becomes three meters by five meters, or even three meters by four meters. This is enough for use. .
“There is also the issue of irradiating radar. We can learn from the Americans and use a time-sharing irradiation mode. The number of guided missiles can also be doubled, providing multi-channel air defense capabilities.”
As a person who has been engaged in anti-aircraft missile research since graduation, Zhao Ling looked at Qin Tao with admiration. This kind of serious nonsense ability is really too strong. Lao Maozi was really fooled!
In later generations, the Aegis battleships of the motherland used active phased array radars. This kind of radar can not only search for targets, but also track and illuminate targets. Therefore, with this kind of radar, it is truly capable of resisting saturation attacks. Ability, as long as some T/R units are separated and each performs their duties.
But in this era, whether it is Lao Maozi's or the American's, they are all passive phased array radars. The electromagnetic waves are still generated by a huge electromagnetic tube, but a phase shifter is used to change the phase before being released. , so, although it can detect multiple targets, it cannot separate a part of the electromagnetic waves to illuminate the targets.
Anti-aircraft missiles also require specialized illumination radars. The number of such radars is the number of fire channels on the Aegis warship.
On a warship, four illumination radars are already very good, but eight are unbelievable. In other words, up to eight targets can be attacked at one time.
So what should we do if more anti-ship missiles come?
The Americans thought of a solution. They would launch as many missiles as they came. First, they would illuminate the eight targets with the greatest threat. After the exposure was complete, they would then continue to illuminate other targets. At this time, the missiles had already flown a certain distance according to the predetermined trajectory. , wait for the help of the illumination radar, and then fly to the target accurately.
This method sounds simple to say, but in fact, it is difficult to use because it requires the electronic system to be sufficiently advanced and agile, and Lao Maozi does not yet have this level.
If Lao Maozi's electronic technology is advanced enough, why is it necessary to separate anti-ship and anti-submarine warships? Universal destroyer is done.
However, Lao Maozi couldn't admit that his electronic technology was lagging behind and these methods couldn't be realized. Therefore, when faced with Qin Tao's proposal, they could only nod their heads, saying that Qin Tao was right and it was a great inspiration to them.
Qin Tao gave some pointers, which impressed Lao Maozi, and he was in a good mood. At this time, everyone continued to move forward, and had already passed the middle of the bridge, heading towards the jump deck at the bow of the ship.
"Soviet designers are so creative. This kind of jump to the deck has successfully made it possible for heavy fighters to board the ship." Qin Tao continued: "However, it also brings a lot of restrictions. If you want to If you operate a carrier-based fixed-wing early warning aircraft, you still need a steam catapult."
At this time, Qin Tao stood on the top of the jump deck, looking at the No. 0 slipway from here, where the huge order 107 was being welded.
Looking at the direction Qin Tao was looking in, Makarov was also very emotional. As an old man who had been building ships for half his life, he was already satisfied that his men could assemble warships that could compete with the West. He was full of expectations.
Other people were also standing on the deck, facing the sea breeze, feeling excited.
How great it would be if we could also have such a powerful warship!
Everyone has this idea in their mind. They don’t know that in the next few years, this ideal will become a reality bit by bit.
Everyone stood at the bow of the ship for more than ten minutes before starting to walk back.
“If this ship could be dismantled and sold for scrap metal, I think it would be worth a million boxes of canned fruits.” Qin Tao whispered to Nicholas.
Nicholas smiled: "Yes, it must be valuable, but we don't have room to operate, so let's forget it."
Qin Tao also smiled: "It's not available now, maybe it will be in the future? My friend, since we are here, we must get something good, right? I can also get some good things, toilet paper, ballpoint pens, plastic bags and so on. .”
As Qin Tao spoke, he looked around, and sure enough, he actually saw it.
On the grass in the distance, there is a pile of rags. There should be abandoned things there. Among them, a device like a revolver is very conspicuous.
When he saw the device, Qin Tao's heart suddenly became hot.
Of course he knows, that thing is Lao Maozi's rotating vertical missile launcher! Although the distance is very far and the size cannot be clearly seen, as long as you see that the launch tube under the wheel launcher is rectangular, you know that it should be the 9С95 launcher! (This model is really hard to find, I don’t know if it’s correct.)
What Lao Maozi likes to use most is the launcher of this revolver. However, generally speaking, under this launcher, there are cylindrical launch tubes inserted, whether it is the long-range Reeve-M, It's still the mid-range Shikili, they are all like this, with the exception of short-range.
This kind of short-range air defense missile is improved from the land-based air defense missile, which is the famous Doyle combat system. It creatively arranges air defense missiles, search radar and other equipment on the basis of a chassis. It is an old Maozi's weapon for field air defense.
Lao Maozi has always liked to move land-based anti-aircraft missiles, so this missile system soon began to be moved to warships. It was developed in 1975 and installed on warships in 1986. It took ten years to sharpen the sword. The Maozi Navy has advanced short-range defense missiles.
In terms of range, it only has a maximum range of more than ten kilometers, which seems to be very backward. However, it uses radio command guidance technology, does not require target illumination radar, and has multi-target attack capabilities. One system can deal with eight targets at the same time. It is definitely a weapon for short-range defense.
NATO followed its own naming rules and gave it the number SA-N-9 Gauntlet (arm armor). In Lao Maozi's case, it is called a dagger.
In the war that broke out in later generations, the Moskva was sunk. Lao Maozi's navy immediately took action and hoisted the Army's Doyle M1 directly to the helicopter deck of the warship to deploy more reasonable interception firepower. , which shows how powerful this weapon system is.
In the Army's Doyle M1 system, the launch box is a rectangular parallelepiped. When it comes to the Navy, it is also a rectangular parallelepiped. However, it is installed on the launch unit of the revolver, and the overall shape looks a bit weird. (I found this by searching some pictures, and I feel a little curious about it. If it is a cylindrical launch tube, please tell the military blind man of the Hero of East China and change it.)
In any shipyard, there will be a large amount of scrap iron, the remaining parts of the cut steel plates, and the installation of samples of various systems or broken things. The set of vertical launch devices should be samples or problems were found during the installation. Yes, just throw it there.
Qin Tao remembered that when he went to the 713 Research Institute, he boasted that he would look for an opportunity to get them the vertical launch device. Now, it was just an opportunity!
These launchers are very similar. As long as you get one, other missiles of different sizes can also be copied, so get started now!
“My friend, I think those rags can be replaced with ten tons of toilet paper.” Qin Tao pointed to the rags in the distance and said.
Lao Maozi’s place is extremely short of all kinds of daily necessities.
It's strange to say that Lao Maozi has no shortage of trees. It is said that it is easy to cut down trees to make toilet paper, which is still the best wood pulp paper. However, Lao Maozi only develops heavy industry, and light industry has never been very good. This kind of paper mill The toilet paper produced is not enough for them.
At this time, Qin Tao can use toilet paper to replace the rags, and there will be no problem.
Nicholas nodded immediately and ordered the adjutant beside him to catch up with Makarov who was walking in front to negotiate. Soon, the adjutant came back with a dark face.
“Director Makarov said that those things belong to the state and he has no authority to deal with them. Relevant departments need to be deployed to our steel plant for remelting.”
Nicholas' face looked a little ugly, but even though he gritted his teeth, there was nothing he could do.
The director of the Makarov factory was born in 1934 and experienced the brutal World War II. Many people of his generation had absolute loyalty to the Soviet Union, just like Qin Tao's father, who had lofty ideals. A sense of mission and responsibility.
It is impossible for Makarov to pretend to be a public servant and enrich his own pockets.
This is a shipyard, not a fleet, so Nikolai has no other choice. If Makarov doesn't agree, he can only give up.
"Hmph, let the people in their shipyard continue to wipe their butts with water." Nikolai said angrily: "My friend, let's go to the 61 Commune Shipyard in the afternoon. The director of the shipyard there, Moskalenko, and I are good friend."
Makarov, this guy, doesn’t know what’s good and what’s good, and Nikolai can’t do anything about it, so he’s going to change places.
The lunch meal was not very pleasant either. The shipyard canteen here did not even provide drinks. After a simple meal, Nicholas took a group of members of the inspection team to the 61st Commune Shipyard.
